We’re really enjoying this track, Mumbo Jumbo, from LA based freak folk band Green Gerry, which oozes classic ‘60s British psych-pop grease until it builds to a wild crescendo after the 3 minute mark. It is the second of three singles they have planned for Mom+Pop’s singles imprint, Mermaid Ave. Have a listen. . Continue reading MM Shorts 615: Green Gerry
The Deadline Shakes will release their new single Slipping From Your Heart on the 10th November. It is an indie showstopper that somehow seems to steal, magpie like, from every preceding decade of rock’n’roll and every single mainstream genre from bombastic rock to disco via glam, and still manage to come up with something as fresh sounding as it is retro. We like it more … Continue reading New Single From The Deadline Shakes

On Sunset is the new record from songwriter Nicholas Krgovich, and it stands as a rich, widescreen paean to a lost Los Angeles. A smog-smudged dreamscape filled with loners, washed-up movie stars, dreamers, drifters, blooming jasmine and glowing courtyard pools, all twinkling and haunting the Hollywood Hills. A place where the light in late afternoon is bright and smooth, where the Santa Ana winds blow, … Continue reading New Video: Nicholas Krgovich – Along The PCH On Oscar Night

All-girl garage four-piece The Franklys are set to release their next single What You Said on the 13th October. It is a masterpiece of broken-heart-black-eye garage-rock wizardry, that follows their previous 7″ Puppet (posted here) and, if anything, increases the ferocious tempo and knuckle cracking percussion up even further. Maybe, even up to eleven! Have a listen. Continue reading The Franklys – What You Said
